mass/swelling on duck pill
hey guys, so I was handling my ducks and while doing this I noticed my female while campbell duck has what looked like a bit of swelling on the underside of her bill where it is softest. she seems perfectly fine and happy quacking at me from the garden as we speak, I was just wondering if anyone... -
duck shoes
hi all. im here in the UK with my 5 ducks and one of them has developed a little bumble on his foot. im cleaning him with iodine before soaking in epsom salts, and then after i spray with vetrycin. unfortunately, there are absolutely no manufactures of duck shoes/birdy bootys here in the US, so... -
bald spot on my ducks back
yes i have 1 campbell drake to 4 hens, who always chases down one specific cayuga duck (not the one pictures), but all the feathers on their head and neck are fully present so I never suspected it could be from mating? I sprayed some vetrycin over the area just in case, im just worried about... -
bald spot on my ducks back
hey, so i noticed when my duck was having a bath that she has a really big bald spot underneath her wings, i've not noticed it before as that area of her isn't exposed as its normally covered, it doesn't look like its bleeding and doesn't have a scab, but as always im worried -
is my ducks bill okay?
im hoping its just sore and nothing serious! yeah im certain she's a white campbell duck, she's 6 months old and shes in great shape, about the same size as my cayuga ducks, always hopping over the chicken wire, extremely friendly and noisy. I wanted a white duck but not a meat bird (because of... -
is my ducks bill okay?
I think its between pink and orange on the spectrum, I thought pekins have a deep orange, but my two white campbells is a light orange on the drake and the orange you see there on my duck -
is my ducks bill okay?
I just hope its not a symptom of something. she's a white campbell not a pekin (if she was a pekin I suspect she would be huge by 6 months old) -
is my ducks bill okay?
im a chronic worrier, does the pinking near my ducks nostrils spark cause for concern for anyone? (as you can see she's fine in spirit) but thats not a problem right? -
duck wing mobility
he hurt himself in september, but by october he regained full mobility in his wing and he could beat them like he could before, but now he just doesn't, its really baffling. he doesn't seem to flap his wings down anymore, he sort of flutters them up you know? -
duck wing mobility
he's a white campbell duck (definitely white campbell not a pekin his bill isn't that bright orange). unfortunately my pond isn't up and running because my pond pump isn't working so the water gets dirty so its only like half full? the others go in and splash in the dirty water but he's a bit... -
duck wing mobility
hi all :) to cut a long story short, back in september my duck injured his wing (flesh wound I believe), in october he recovered to the point where he could flap his wings with all his might, but for the past few months I've only ever seen him giving his wings a light flutter, and I spend a lot... -

hole in ducks bill
if i put epsom salt in drinking water would that be okay? because they will dunk their heads in it including where they're injured but they use their second eyelids to protect their eyes? -
hole in ducks bill
i have some iodine if that would work better? i've got purple spray and triscrub too? -
hole in ducks bill
i dont think it was a hawk because i'd have a duck missing, dead, or severely injured, whereas all I have are 3 out of 5 ducks with minor cuts or scratches and one with a hole in her bill. it might look bigger than it is because i've zoomed in on her and she is smaller than an average cayuga
